The SquickelPlex originated from a small baby toy, a fake television remote control by Sassy. The small circuit board was re-housed in a cigar box. There are trigger push-buttons for the different sounds, pitch control, touch sensors, 1/8" input jacks for photocell control, 1/8" input jacks for external triggering, toggle switches for different distortion effects, and a kill button.

Original toy - backside. See where it's cracked around the top? That necessitated a little circuit board repair (see below).

Circuit board from toy, showing added wires to bend points. A jumper needed to be added on the left side where the circuit board was broken. Hey, wa-da-ya want for a 25 cent thrift store special!

Back side of the circuit board, showing added wires to bend points. You can see again that the circuit board was cracked (on the right side here).

Graphic for panel. Image was printed on paper, glued to the top of the wooden cigar box, and clear-coated. Holes were then drilled where indicated.
